Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't usually drink, but the light's so bright
But I'm scared of too much, but that'll light this place
She said, "You can get it", so you know the right price
Lotta' time baby girl, could be somebody you love
They're really tryna' move slow, she told me, "Nah, don't rush"
I threw the dollar in the air, but I know I can't touch
A little more champagne
But I need it by tonight
Bottles, it rainin' so slowly
But it doesn't matter, I'm in too deep, and I know
'Cause I
I've come this far, I can't fuckin' complain
I get the seats with the desk on the plane
Parts of my past I'm not proud to admit
So I will confess, there's no truth in the name
Nigga I'm King Kong to these Snow Whites
These eyes can adjust really good in the low lights
I been around 'em my whole life
Thank Jesus, a nigga never turned to a low life
Still fuckin' holy, drugs in the crown moldin'
Still feelin' like I'm Pac when I'm rollin'
Money is the motive, gotta' tell them what the mode is
Hopin' I can stay alive in the moment
Still got my mind made up
You don't wanna' see the fuck I'm made of
Boy you better ind your behavior
This is the beginnin', only lookin' at the beta
Never settled down, nigga never go slow
Ride or die nigga, need my own GoPro
Gotta' feed the fam', this is all I know
Love for my niggas, these are all my bros
And all I fuckin' know is the risk
Ain't' talkin' money, then they ain't' don't exist
My intuition is follow the vision
First you caught a wave, but then you went adrift
And I came from the dirt, but I'm oh so vain
Started from the block but I'm on Cobain
I do not say this shit just for display
I pray you don't give me reasons to pray
And a nigga know better baby, I'm a rider
Too late now they can't save us
Ain't' never felt nothing liver
Just the way that the dream made us
Bottles, it rainin' so slowly
But it doesn't matter, I'm in too deep, and I know
In "Lust," SAINt JHN tells the story of a night filled with temptation and desire. He begins by acknowledging his reluctance to engage in activities he doesn't typically do, such as smoking and drinking. However, the allure of the night's atmosphere causes him to abandon his reservations. When a woman tells him he can have her for the right price, he becomes embroiled in a lustful encounter that he feels ashamed of but cannot resist. Despite the guilt he feels, he admits he needs the experience in that moment.
The second verse sees SAINt JHN reflecting on his past and how it has shaped him. He admits to actions he's not proud of and confesses that his current persona is not entirely truthful. He sees himself as a King Kong figure among Snow Whites and recognizes his ability to navigate in low-lit environments. However, he remains grounded in his roots and has not turned to a low-life lifestyle. He acknowledges the risk he takes with his choices, but remains focused on feeding his loved ones and maintaining loyalty to his friends.
Overall, "Lust" is a raw and introspective track that explores the complex emotions of desire and temptation.

I don't usually smoke, but the night feel right
I'm doing something new and exciting tonight
And I don't usually drink, but the light's so bright
The atmosphere feels too good for me to not enjoy myself
But I'm scared of too much, but that'll light this place
I'm hesitant but willing to take risks for a good time
She said, "You can get it", so you know the right price
Someone is willing to provide what I want if I pay the price
Lotta' time baby girl, could be somebody you love
I could just be wasting time with someone I don't actually care about
They're really tryna' move slow, she told me, "Nah, don't rush"
Someone is pushing things to move faster than I am used to
I threw the dollar in the air, but I know I can't touch
I'm throwing money around, but deep down inside, it won't bring me happiness
A little more champagne
Let's keep the party going
I'm ashamed of the thing that we know is lust
I feel guilty about indulging in just physical pleasure
But I need it by tonight
I have a desire that must be satisfied tonight
Bottles, it rainin' so slowly
Alcohol is pouring freely and steadily
But it doesn't matter, I'm in too deep, and I know
I am aware that I am in deep with this situation and cannot pull out now
And I came from the dirt, but I'm oh so vain
I come from humble beginnings, but now I am prideful
Started from the block but I'm on Cobain
I came from the bottom, but now I am successful like Kurt Cobain
I do not say this shit just for display
I don't speak just to impress others
I pray you don't give me reasons to pray
I hope you don't put me in a position where I have to ask for forgiveness
And a nigga know better baby, I'm a rider
I know better now, I am a survivor
Too late now they can't save us
It's too late to fix our mistakes
Ain't' never felt nothing liver
I have never experienced anything more thrilling
Just the way that the dream made us
We were influenced by our dreams to live this wild lifestyle
